Stone Garden

Sirjan is a city in the southwest of Kerman -iran that has many attractions, but among all of them, there is a mysterious garden where there is no news of greenery.

Instead of fruit, stones are hung from the trees of this garden.

The surrounding garden, which is desert, has given it a terrifying feel that has contributed to its strangeness.

This stone garden is called Darvish Khan Garden and its builder is a farmer named "Darvish Khan Esfandiarpour" who lost his natural state about 40 years ago after his farm dried up and as a sign of protest the trees of his garden that

They had dried up, planted elsewhere, and hung the stones he had collected from the surrounding mountains as the fruit of his trees.



Others believe that Darwish Khan dreamed of building this garden one night, and the next day, while grazing sheep in the desert, he saw a meteorite falling from the sky to the ground, taking it home and building his garden with it.

Darvish Khan was not satisfied with hanging stones and hung the heads of sheep torn by wolves on trees, but stopped protesting.

Exhaust pipes, worn gears, punctured threaded tires, peat oil, tin cans, broken mirrors, air conditioner floats, broken hookah straws and many other wastes also appeared on these trees.

After the death of Darvish Khan, people prevented one of the trees from falling.

The only question that can be asked is how the old man could move these stones and hang them from the trees?
